Copper Taste In Mouth, Dizziness, Nausea, Vision Problem. Better With Juice, Protein. Reason?

Sometimes I get the taste of copper in my mouth. It is followed by dizziness , nausia, and a halo effect in my vision . If I catch it in time, within about an hour, I can drink juice and some complex carb or protein within another hour and be just fine. If I don t catch it in time, I black out and fall to the ground. What is going on?

Hello,

It seems to recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia.

Check you blood sugar at the time when you experience the above mentioned symptoms.

If it goes below 70 mg/dl the it is due to hypoglycemia.

Consult your doctor.
